| ♥♥♥♥♥ | francois in paris, chestnuts in blossom ... |
| john barrymore stars as francois villon in this late silent epic and delivers one of his best screen performances. he is matched by conrad veidt in a splendidly hammy (i mean that in the best sense) turn as louis xi, jointly foisting off the takeover of paris by the evil burgundians in late medieval france. villon of course is remembered as one of frances great literary figures and the legends about his picaresque life have been grist for writers for centuries. this is a funny swashbuckler, and richly deserving its fine reputation, tho i wish i wish i wish (in vain, it seems) that the ronald colman "if i were king" (with an early screenplay from preston sturges!) of a decade later would find ITS way to dvd (i wont even dare hope for the dennis king / jeanette macdonald "vagabond king"). major fun.
